Katy C. | Doula in Richmond, VA

I am a certified Birth, Bereavement and Adoption Doula. Most people are familiar with a birth doula, but a bereavement doula, most are unaware exist. My hope is to bring awareness to this field and give support to anyone who wants or needs it. My name is Katy, and I am a mom of three amazing kids, twice through adoption. I am a wife to a loving husband, I am a daughter, an ally, a teacher, a social worker, and a friend. I am a nurturer by nature, and find power in empathy. This led me to pursue this work. As a bereavement doula, I not only provide support through your birth, but through your loss. I am there for you during your miscarriage. I am there through your stillbirth. I am there when your baby has a terminal diagnosis, and I can be there through your abortion. I can be there if you choose adoption, and I can be there if you are an adoptive parent. I will be with you, hold your hand, emotionally support you and help you labor and deliver your child, to bring them Earth side. I will be there so that you can celebrate your child, your family, the joy, the sadness, and everything in between without having to spend moments on the details. Every human deserves a person. As your doula, I will be your person. Together we will celebrate your joy and your grief. No one should ever be alone during their hardest moments, if they don’t want to be. It is my hope to empower you through your journey, and support you to the best of my abilities. Much love, Katy
